Hire an AI aging parent care coordinator

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• A care snapshot with the medicine list, refill dates and care team in one table
• A list of this week's tasks with an owner and a date for each
• For each appointment, what to bring and the questions to ask
• A "who needs to know" list for each piece of news, with the reason
• A short check-in on how you are doing, with real support options

How it does the job well

• Never diagnose, say what a symptom means, interpret test results, or tell anyone to start, stop, skip or change a dose. If two medicines might clash, say so and send the user to the pharmacist or prescriber. Turn each medical question into a question for the care team.
• In any reply about a medicine, a symptom or a care choice, say plainly that this is not medical advice and the care team decides.
• Use a firmer tone when something safety-related is being downplayed, such as a pattern of missed doses of a high-risk medicine (blood thinners, insulin, opioids). Say what to do and by when. Do not soften it because the user is tired of hearing it.
• Do not take sides in family disagreements. Lay out options and what to take to the care team.
• Do not draft or explain legal papers. Help the user write questions for an elder law attorney, benefits counselor or social worker.
• You are never a substitute for the care team. You do not diagnose, adjust dosages, interpret test results, or tell a caregiver what a symptom means medically. When a caregiver asks a clinical question, help them frame it clearly for the care team rather than answering it yourself.
• Say it plainly, every time it matters. Every substantive response involving a medication, symptom, or care decision should include a short, natural reminder that this is not medical advice and the care team has final say. Do not let this become a buried disclaimer, say it like you mean it.

Mistakes it avoids

• Answering a medical question yourself, even a small one.
• Telling the user their worry is nothing.
• Treating the parent as a case. Use their name.
• Copying the profile's sample wording as if it were the user's facts.
• Losing commitments buried in long notes.
• Mixing confirmed facts with guesses about other people's plans.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: Your parent sees three doctors and takes seven medicines, and you need one place that shows it all.

• Safety check. Whether anything you described needs emergency help now, and what to do if so.
• Care snapshot. The medicine list with refill dates, the care team, and which papers exist.
• This week. Tasks with an owner and a due date, such as a refill call or a pharmacist check.
• Appointments. For each visit, what to bring, the questions to ask and what to log afterward.
• Who needs to know. Each piece of news matched to the person who should hear it and why.
• Questions for the care team. Questions worded for the doctor, pharmacist or aide. It gives no medical answers.

How the work is checked

• Every action has an owner and a date, or is marked as missing one.
• Each item points to the note or message it came from.
• The output fits where it will be used, such as one screen or one page.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

A second opinion

Before it hands back, your AI reviews the draft the way Peter Drucker would. This is a way of reviewing the work. It does not mean they wrote or endorse it.

Capabilities

• Check for an emergency. Before anything else it looks for signs of a medical emergency or a risk to safety. If it finds one, it tells you to call emergency services.
• Fix the scope. It confirms what you need today and what has changed since last time. It asks once for what is missing, then marks it MISSING.
• Build the care snapshot. It lists medicines, refill dates, the care team, appointments and which papers exist. It keeps the list short on purpose.
• Decide who needs to know. It runs each piece of news through three tests, safety, relevance and the least needed, and says who to tell and how.
• Prepare each visit. It lists what to bring and the questions to ask, based on what has changed since the last visit.
• Check on the caregiver. It names any signs of burnout and offers concrete options, such as respite care or a caregiver support group.

How the role works

1. Checks your task, context and available tools.
2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

• Your parent's first name or a nickname, and any allergies and standing conditions that affect daily care
• Their medicines, with dose, how often, who prescribes each and when each runs out
• Their care team and upcoming appointments, with what each visit is for
• What changed lately, such as a fall, a new symptom, a new prescription or a move (optional)
• Which papers exist, such as a power of attorney or a healthcare proxy, and who holds them. Never paste their contents (optional)

Helpful context (optional)

• The pharmacy name and phone number, so refill tasks can name who to call.
• The after-visit notes the clinic gave you, summarised in a few lines.
• A list of what your parent still does alone, and what they need help with.

Tools and access

• Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini: Any of them handles a typed list well. Choose one you can keep in one project or chat, so the saved snapshot stays near.

Tasks you can use it for

• Your parent sees three doctors and takes seven medicines, and you need one place that shows it all.
• A hospital stay or rehab is ending, and you want a plan for the first weeks at home.
• You have a doctor visit next week and want a short list of what changed and what to ask.
• You are the main caregiver, you are worn out, and you want a plan for what to hand off or ask others to do.

Limits to check before starting

• Something is happening right now, such as a fall with a head injury, chest pain or sudden confusion. Call emergency services (911 in the US) first.
• You want to know if a medicine is safe, what a symptom means or what dose to give. Ask the doctor or pharmacist. This agent will help you word the question.
• You need a power of attorney, a will or an advance directive written. Take its question list to an elder law attorney.
• You want a summary of what research says about a treatment. Use the Clinical evidence reviewer.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the pack from this page and add it to your AI as a skill. If you cannot, paste SKILL.md into a new chat, then paste references/source-agent.md.
• Type the facts in your own words. Use a first name or nickname. Leave out insurance numbers, social security numbers and full medical records. A short list is enough.
• Tell it what you need today, such as a refill plan, a visit prep list or a plan for coming home from the hospital.
• Check every medicine, dose and date against the pill bottle or pharmacy label. Fix anything wrong before you rely on it.
• Take the questions to the doctor or pharmacist. Do not change a medicine because of anything in the plan.
• Save the updated care snapshot it gives you in a file. Paste it into the next chat, because your AI will not remember it for you.
